Adelaide Fringe review: Shape Up!

KIDDO reviewer, Kasia, took her kiddos to Shape Up! at Adelaide Fringe. Be quick to book: there's only ONE show left on Sunday, 23 March.

By Kasia Ozog

Performed by a talented troupe of around 18 performers, seemingly no older than teenagers, Shape Up! is a dazzling display of strength, skill, and incredible teamwork.

For 60 minutes, the audience is treated to thrilling jumps, high-flying lifts, impressive human pyramids, and other circus feats. Performers are launched into the air and caught by their fellow troupe members, all while demonstrating extraordinary agility and strength. Each act showcases the young troupe’s dedication and teamwork, regardless of age or size, leaving the audience in awe of their capabilities.

Although suited for slightly older kids as it might be hard for littler ones to sit through the whole show, Shape Up! is a fun family outing for everyone! This show is filled with jaw-dropping stunts and a showcase of the incredible talent of its youthful performers, which is no doubt the result of dedicated training and commitment.

Great for families looking for an afternoon of entertainment, or for those with children who dream of running away with the circus.

KIDDO Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
